Nuno Gomes-Loureiro, MIT- Host: William Daughton
- Host Org: T-CNLS
- Visit Dates: Feb. 1st, 2023 to May. 31st, 2023.
- I am a theoretical plasma physicist with interests ranging from fundamental plasma
theory to fusion, space and astrophysical plasmas. I tend to work on nonlinear
problems of plasma dynamics that can typically only be addressed via state-of-the-art
numerical computations or, in some cases, approximate analytical methods guided by
a phenomenological understanding of the phenomena at hand; often, I employ a
combination of both. Rather than focus on the details of plasma behavior in specific
environments, I frequently opt to identify and study the essential ingredients of a
given plasma phenomenon, thereby rendering my results more widely applicable
than otherwise. Thus, some of my research has been found relevant to a large variety
of environments, from fusion devices and the solar corona to exotic astrophysical
phenomena such blazars and gamma-ray bursts.
